Everything you share during our sessions is confidential and will
not be communicated except under the following circumstances:
* When you have given me a written consent.
* When required by law:
(1) If you threaten to harm yourself or someone else, I am legally
required to take whatever actions necessary to protect any
identified person from harm including notifying the police.
(2) If I have reason to believe that abuse or neglect of a child,
elder or dependent adult has occurred, I am legally required to
report this to the appropriate agency.
* I will respond to all subpoenas, but will refuse to release
records without written permission from you, or unless ordered to do
so by a judge.
* When required by your insurance or managed care organization
to verify symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, provided you have
signed a release.
* When required for effective treatment, i.e. sharing of
anonymous information for consultation purposes.
